Mentorship through the SHCRs

It has been rewarding to mentor one of the next generation of Change Agents.

‘I have continued my mentoring relationship from the school & hope that this relationship will continue on to the next Change Day & beyond. Having someone who is like minded, but already took a path similar to what I hope to achieve has made me believe my aspirations are possible & realistic, if I am willing to engage in new concepts such as SHCR and take the extra time to make those all important connections to support others in their pledges for further change.’ Alison (Student Nurse – Mental Health)
